Shipping

At the moment of writing this document, we only ship to most of the contiguous US (the lower 48 states). We do not ship to the following:

  • PO Boxes
  • APO/FPO addresses
  • Any international addresses
  • Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico

If you place an order to be shipped to any of the areas stated above, you will receive a full refund and your order will be canceled.

We can have your order delivered to a home or business address, although a business address is often preferable.

Time Frames

Your order will be processed between 3 and 10 business days before being shipped. Please be advised that during Holidays or with special releases, such as music band beers, there might be delays in fulfilling orders. Please, be patient.

Once your order is processed, you will receive a tracking number by email where you can check the progress of the order.

We do not do shipping ourselves. Any complaints about shipping delays  should be directed to the shipping carrier assigned to your order.

Changing Shipping Address

If you need to change the delivery address of an order for any reason whatsoever, please notify us as soon as possible before the order is shipped. If the order has already been shipped, rerouting or stopping is not possible. See also cancelling an order below.

Refused Orders

In case you, the customer, refuse delivery of an order, you will receive a partial refund of the total of the purchased products once we receive the order back. This excludes shipping and handling expenses and a 25% restocking fee.

Orders Returned By The Carrier

When orders are returned to the sender (us), it usually is due to the following factors:

  • The submitted address is wrong (No such address)
  • The address is that of an empty building or vacant lot
  • The carrier could not access the apartment or town house complex

If the carrier sends the package back, you have 48 hours to contact us if you want it reshipped to the same or different address. However, there will be a reshipping fee that must be fulfilled before we take action.

If we don't hear from the customer within the specified time frame, the same process will be applied as to that of a refused order.

Lost Or Damaged Orders During Transit

If a package gets lost during transit, we will contact the shipping carrier to get a Lost Package confirmation. This usually takes between 2 and 3 business days after which, either the package is found or we should be able to take action. Depending on the products, we will do either of the following:

  • Refund the order, in chase the items are limited releases that we can't acquire anymore.
  • Reship the package.

Orders damaged during transit usually get sent back to us. When this happens, we have to wait for the package to be delivered to us so we can assess the damage. From there, we will proceed with actions as if the order had been lost (see above).

Other Shipping Issues

No holds or time sensitive requests. We ship out orders as soon as they are ready. Due to our high volume of orders we do not honor any hold requests, neither can we guarantee a specific day or time in which an order will be delivered. No exceptions.

No combined shipping. If you place multiple orders on our site, we will ship each order individually. This is in case any issues should arise with any of the orders, we can address them each separately.

No order modification / substitution. In the same topic of combined shipping, we don't accept requests to add beers to any orders. Nor do we accept request so swap one product for another.

We do not control the delivery date / time of any order. Once the package is in control of the shipping carrier, we can not alter how long it will take to be delivered, we only have access to the same information you have while tracking the order. Please track your package in the respective website.

Damaged beers / Dents (not leaking) If beers are damaged and not leaking they are still good to drink as all beers are meant to be consumed and not meant to be collectable items. No refunds or replacements if beers are still good to drink. 

Receiving

Every shipment of alcohol MUST be signed for by an adult, 21 years or older. No exceptions!

In the event that no one is available to receive the package at the time of delivery, the order may be attempted to be redelivered or will be held at your local shipping office. If no attempt to claim the order is made or re-delivery fails, the order is returned to our warehouse.

After receiving your package, if there are any issues with your order such as damaged or missing products, you must contact us within 24 hours of receiving regarding the issue. After this period is over, we are not to be held responsible for any issues.

Cancelling An Order

If you cancel your order before being shipped, you will receive a complete refund within 24 to 48 hours.

Shipped orders can not be cancelled or rerouted and no refunds will be provided in such scenario.

Customer Returns

Any product that has been opened cannot be returned.

Refunds, in such scenarios, will be assessed based on the circumstances of the return and the state of the returned product upon arrival.

All returns must be authorized by a craft beer kings associate, along with all items in their original unopened condition.
